Conception and Birth
Three people had a dream - to transform their country Malta into a green hub by introducing green technologies and opportunities for international collaboration. And so in 2020 at a time when the novel coronavirus hurled mankind into disarray and sent businesses to their death, these individuals armed with nothing but their daring spirits gave birth to GSE Technologies. The visionaries began by securing partnerships with green innovators, exploring and agreeing on bespoke designs for some smart technologies that operate completely off the grid viz. smart benches, smart city hubs, waste bins, cycling points, street lights etc. The goal was to equate innovation with sustainability.
Then came the time to navigate regulatory frameworks and policy landscapes and to sell the idea to public and private organisations, surprisingly, the reception of the idea fell short of expectations.
The Challenge
The founders encountered several challenges, including the sustainability knowledge gap. Many individuals were unaware of the potential benefits or even the existence of off-grid digital solutions and target organisations were rather focused on superficial and cosmetic changes that gave the appearance of sustainability but lacked meaningful impact. They realised that bridging this knowledge gap requires extensive education and awareness campaigns to highlight the advantages of green technologies, including reduced reliance on traditional energy sources, increased resilience in remote areas, and minimised environmental impact. Additionally, the founders faced technical hurdles, as off-grid digital systems often require innovative approaches to power generation, storage, and connectivity. Overcoming these challenges demanded significant research and development efforts to create efficient and reliable solutions. Furthermore, navigating regulatory frameworks and policy landscapes that may not be designed to accommodate these emerging technologies presented additional obstacles. Alas, the challenges overwhelmed two of the trio and there was one - the last girl standing - Sabrina Agius.

The Green Vision
Despite the gigantuous challenges before her, Sabrina Agius proceeded to work towards a widespread adoption of sustainable inventions, a resilient approach that opened doors to the introduction of the Green Vision initiatives. Birthed on the need to delve deeper into the underlying complexities and interconnectedness of environmental, social, and economic systems as well as the need to educate, examine and ensure accountability on individual and communal levels, the Green Vision becomes the first of its kind on the Maltese Islands.

There is no going forward if we don’t acknowledge the present. With the concept of the Green Vision, we intend to bring international expertise to support Malta’s vision and strategy in the sustainability sector.
We will start by making knowledge accessible to all, then we’ll spark the desire to be more climate-conscious and more accountable, and then we will attract visionary brands to our shores to support our mission to help Malta become a green hub and one of the smallest nations to be carbon neutral.
